Abstract
Pasteurella species are immobile, non-sporeless, gram-negative coccobacilli that can be found in the respiratory tract and gastrointestinal tract flora of pets and can cause various infections with cat-dog bites. While it usually causes cellulitis and abscesses, clinical pictures such as septic arthritis, osteomyelitis, pneumonia, endocarditis, sepsis and meningitis can also be seen in immunosuppressed patients. Here, a case of septic arthritis due to Pasteurella multocida, which developed in the left shoulder joint of a 70-year-old female patient with a history of rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension, without animal contact or trauma, is presented in the light of the literature.
